The Keppbach is a tributary of the Elbe in the east of Dresden .

course

It rises in the Schönfeld highlands in the north of the town of Cunnersdorf and flows in a south-westerly direction to the Elbe. The most important tributary is the Schönfelder Bach . When leaving the Schönfeld highlands, the brook deepens into the rock from Eichbusch ( Helfenberg district ) and then flows into the Elbe almost 100 meters deeper through the widening of the Elbe valley after about five kilometers near the church “ Maria am Wasser ” orographically on the right.

natural reserve

The Keppgrund , through which the Keppbach flows, is part of the " Elbe slopes Dresden – Pirna " nature reserve . The flood in August 2002 caused damage of 3.18 million euros in this valley.

Mills

In 1721 there were four mills on the Keppbach. Three of them each had a meal. Today only the Keppmühle is left.
